Sports can be a demanding career to pursue, as many atheletes, coaches and trainers affirm. Injuries are not uncommon since high-powered and constant physical movement are common features of many sports. Hours of rigorous training can leave an athlete zapped of energy and mentally-drained. So can athletes, sports-minded individuals and people-on-the-go recharge and relax effectively?

Al Francis Chua, basketball fanatic, coach and trainer says that total relaxation is key in maintaining the body’s balance and keeping it at optimum performance. “Since an athlete, or any active person, exerts great effort and uses his body to the fullest, it is beneficial to take a breather and unwind. Keeping a regular downtime not only allows the body to heal and recover, it also relieves the mind of stress. Mental conditioning playsa great part in sports or any other physical activity,” says Al Francis.

".. It has to be run professionally and staffed with well-trained therapists, so I only go to Blue Water Day Spa".. - Al Francis Chua

Al Francis’ rich experience in coaching has made him one of the most respected authorities in the sporting world. In 2001, he was the PBA Consultant for Sta. Lucia when the team won its first PBA Championship. As an assistant coach, he helped steer the Philippine National Basketball Team to its gold-winning performance in the 1995 Southeast Asian Games.

Al Francis was coach of the Stag Pale Pilsen Team when it won two consecutive grand slam championships in the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 PBL seasons. In the following year, he acted as head coach of the Tanduay PBL Team when it won the year’s grand slam championship. For his remarkable achievements, Al Francis has been given the 1999-2000 PBA All-Star Head Coach Award and the 1995-1997 PBA Coach of the Year Award.

For 11 years now, Al Francis has been conducting a basketball clinic called STEP 1. He is currently the Vice President of BCAP (Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines). On top of all these, this busybody also created a basketball clinic in Bahrain, called Hyper Hoops, specially designed for youngsters between six to 17 years old.

Al Francis certainly practices what he preaches by keeping a regular de-stressing time to help him cope with the demands of his career and active lifestyle. “I really make it a point to have a massage every weekends. The massage helps tone by body and rids my mind of stress,” he discloses. The choice of spa is very important, says Al Francis. “It has to be run professionally and staffed with well-trained therapists,” he adds. “So I only go to Blue Water Day Spa.”

So, to get his regular massage, Al Francis goes to BlueWater Day Spa. “BlueWater Day Spa is equipped with the best facilities and staffed with experts who know what they are doing. I also enjoy the soothing ambience and the corteous service at BlueWater Day Spa,” he states.

Al Francis frequents BlueWater Day spa for the Swedish Massage and for its facial treatment. “The Swedish Massage provides my body with a deep-tissue workout that gets rid of pain and induces the muscles to relax. The facial, on the other hand, is my way of pampering myself. The facial is very relaxing kasi magaan ang kamay ng therapist. I never thought that getting a facial could be so relaxing. My complexion has improved a lot because BlueWater Day Spa uses only the best treatments,” Al Francis remarks.

Bluewater Day Spa offers the best facials for men because it uses the most sophisticated skin and facial care systems for men—the bio-engineered Biodroga line of products. Biodroga Systems has been developed in Baden-Baden, Germany. The world’s most exclusive spas use Biodroga Systems because it is made from pure, natural ingredients. It is also the first product of its kind that carries a wide array of lines to specifically address a variety of skin problems.

On his next visit, Al Francis wishes to try one of Blue Water Day Spa’s signature treatments: the Chocolate Slimming Therapy which uses the beneficial attributes of chocolate to help tone the skin and rid the body of unwanted fats.

“What is exciting about BlueWater Day Spa is that it offers a lot of unique treatments and therapies that are not available anywhere else. These offerings represent the best and most sophisticated procedures in spa treatments,” he emphasizes.
